Subscribe to Rescufy and you will have the best app to streamline your anaphylaxis action plan and help you get help and manage medical information should you experience anaphylaxis. The Rescufy team has built this app specifically for caregivers and individuals who have to be prepared for anaphylaxis due to food allergies, insect sting allergies, drug allergies, other severe allergies, and asthma. If you are at risk for anaphylaxis, it is recommended that you always carry your epi and have an anaphylaxis action plan. Rescufy can help you be prepared with your best anaphylaxis action plan.

Rescufy asks you during registration information that is key to emergency room personnel and emergency responders to get you the right care efficiently and accurately. The questions are tailored to individuals at risk for anaphylaxis. Set your emergency contact phone numbers (parents, friends loved ones) and set your emergency responder phone number (automatically set to and recommended to be 911).

Once set up, you are ready to go! In the event of anaphylaxis, inject epinephrine as instructed by your physician and tap the “Get Help Now” button. Text messages containing your GPS location, address associated with that GPS, medical information, and contact info will be texted to the emergency responder (recommended to be 911) and emergency contacts you set up during registration. Once help arrives, you can easily share the medical information that is needed to get YOU help in the event of anaphylaxis.

Rescufy is the best app for helping you handle anaphylaxis. It won the initial AppITUP Challenge at the University of Pennsylvania and the Rescufy team has been working ever since to help individuals with food allergies and other severe allergies at risk of anaphylaxis be prepared to get help when needed.

Rescufy requires location services to be running in the background so that the app may pull your geographic location when “Get Help Now” button is pressed. Text to 911 is not active in all locations. The FCC requires major mobile telephone service providers provide a bounce back message if a phone texts 911 in an area where text to 911 is not active. Rescufy includes the redundancies of also texting emergency contacts and calling 911 to increase the outreach should you need help as well as adhering to best practices recommended by the FCC in the event of emergencies, that if you text 911, you should also attempt to call 911. Rescufy does not offer medical advice, diagnosis, or instructions. Confer with your doctor for medical advice, diagnosis, or instructions.
